[Dailydrool] Baths and Stans

[Swartz]

When I had the Fab 5 ATB's, bath time wasn't too bad...go out, throw a leash 
on one and walk them into the bathroom and shut the door. They didn't like a 
bath but would tolerate it...All except Shadow ATB who loved a bath and once 
she figured out it was bath day would run into the house and jump into the 
tub, with every dog that we had to bathe.  So the big chore was to get the 
reluctant hound in and bathed without Shadow jumping in the tub first.  Lol

The Bad A** Brothers are taken to a self serve dog wash. This place is 
awesome!!! You go into a stall, tub is waist high and everything that you 
need is right there.  Ear, & eye wash, cotton balls, towels, dryer, shampoo 
etc. the owner will even help you put the hound in the tub if need be.  They 
have steps so if you have a well trained dog that will go up the steps all 
the better for everyone's backs.  We always try the stairs...but usually 
Ruger will go up the first one and that's it...however on our last bath trip 
Ruger went all the way up the steps and jumped in the tub...I was such a 
proud momma I just hugged, kissed
and praised him while Randall went to get a chicken strip for him.  Colt 
however walks to the stairs, stops and rolls onto his back for a belly rub. 
So he gets rubbed, then turned over and picked up & put in the tub.  Both 
don't care for it but will stand there and tolerate it...They have realized 
fighting is futile and if they are good they get doggie ice cream 
afterwards. The best thing...no mess for me to clean up and
this place is 4 miles from the house.  If Ruger is bathed first then he will 
get into the crate while Colt get's his bath and will rub the bottom of the 
crate with head and neck, turning circles and just moan
and groan.  The DH & I say that we washed his mojo off and he is trying to 
get it back.  Once we get home he runs through the house to find and reapply 
his mojo.

This is Colt pawing in at you: Delilah Belle, That was Ruby Roo that chases 
the Chipmonster. We have yet to see a Chipmonster here in the FL Gulf Coast. 
But according to our intel from the northern ASTT the Chipmonsters are in 
league with the Stans and are plotting to take over the world...so they must 
brought to justice along with the Stans. You and the rest of the NJ4 must 
defend your territory against the Chipmonsters and the Stans, ingnore the 
slave when she yells at you, World Peace is depending on you! Ruger the 
director of ASTT has decided to deputize you and the rest of the NJ4, making 
you all Special Agents in ASTT.   Good luck and happy hunting!  Oh 
yeah...tell your dad that momma says that Ruger and I are a couple of 
pistols, hence the names.  hehehe!  Some homes are protected by Smith & 
Wesson...ours is protected by Colt and Ruger!  that would be dog & guns :)^

Ruby Roo, We know that you will be a most excellent ASTT member!  Keep us 
updated on your fight against the Chipmonster & the Stans.

Drool to all in need.
